I'm getting a Thinkpad Carbon XI Touchscreen that has a "Mini-Display Port". Will this item work to connect an HDMI cable to my external monitor?

"Display port" mini or otherwise is NOT natively compatible with HDMI. You would need an external adapter. Search on amazon for mini displayport to HDMI and you should find what you need. Good luck.

You can connect to an external HDMI monitor but you cannot (as far as I know) use an external touch interface with it.

Depends on the port on your laptop. It'll be either HDMI or mini display port. You have to know the port type.

Yes, Thunderbolt and MiniDisplay use the same connector. Some more info here: http://www.cnet.com/news/confusing-mini-displayport-with-thunderbolt/

I am not sure. What I can tell you is that I have a laptop (Toshiba running Windows 7) and am using HDMI out to that monitor, and it works great.

I'm use one of my Plugables on a laptop on via the USB port. I am not familiar the mini HDMI port. It is working well as the primary monitor.

It should work fine. I have used this device as a second connector to an old monitor that lacked an hdmi input as well as on my computer for dual screen capabilities (1 hdmi port and 1 dvi port, but I only use hdmi cords). I hope this helps.

Mini-DisplayPort & "regular" DisplayPort use exactly the same signals, only the physical connector size is different. Therefore, only "passive" adapter is needed. An "active" adapter doesn't even exist.

Depends upon whether you have a smaller HDMI connector on your laptop (which I believe you would). My laptop does not have an HDMI "out" so I have not attempted this. I think you need to search for "Mini HDMI to regular HDMI" cable. Hope this helps.

did you try this for connecting the external monitor to your laptop. I have a dell laptop and want to buy it for the same use.

I believe the computer only had Display Port out and you'll need an adapter. did you use an adapter?Startech DP2HDMI DisplayPort to HDMI Video Adapter Converter

Yes, but you'll need a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter which is around $10.00.

From Lenovo website:Monitor:Yes, through a mini-hdmi port. It comes with an adapter that will convert mini-hdmi into a regular VGA cable, so if still have that around you can use it. Of course, you can also use a DMI to VGA adapter to go that route as well. 2 monitors:can I connect 2 external monitors?steve s on Mar 25, 2014 Yes. There is a micro HDMI port that you can use to connect to an external VGA or HDMI monitor. The adapter can be purchased from Lenovo or any other cable vendor.

Hi Thank you for your interest. This monitor doesn't have Mini displayport but Displayport. So you need Mini displayport to Displayport cable. And some cheap cable may not compatible with the monitor. Included cable is only DVI-D(dual link) cable. Thank you.

It may depend on what kind of graphics card you have. I had a ThinkPad laptop with miniDP port and I tried to connect to a DVI monitor using this device and I could not find a way to show anything on my monitor and I was using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

If you have an extra display port not in use on the laptop and you want to connect it to a VGA monitor you would want to get this, otherwise no it wouldn't. You probably want a USB to (DVI, HD, VGA) adaptor so you can add an extra display adaptor.
